Our New House and the Giant Back Yard

After looking at a bunch of houses, we got lucky to find this one in Maniago.  I've posted some photos of the house and of the surrounding area.




Out of the 7 houses we looked at, not a single one had a stitch of carpet.

Here's the view from the kitchen window.  The photos below show what's up in those mountains.


This area is about 10 minutes from our front door.  When I stumbled on these pools, I couldn't believe how close they were to the road.



This pool is amazing.  It's surrounded by steep limestone cliffs and it will make a great swimming hole in the summer.





Cassy and I took these photos while hiking a super steep trail above a little town called Dardago that is about 10 minutes from the base.  The trail climbs out of the valley quickly and offers some sweet views.




The town of Aviano and the Air Force base are in the valley behind us.

She wouldn't chase the stick through the pipe, but we're working on it.
